Catastrophe in the Alps
"A mountaineering expedition in search of the victims of an Alpine tragedy, in which two well known climbers lost their lives. A beautifully pathetic subject. Shorn of the repugnant features associated with such an event, the sadness evoked by what remains is more than compensated by the unusualness of the scenes depicted. Weird, but sublime in their photographic perfection, the Alpine views are magnificent. Wonderful ice fields, glaciers, crags, crevasses, snow-clad pinnacles, and chasms, in all their thrilling majesty, sublime silence and snowy desolation, pass each other in rapid succession, each scene more beautiful than the last. Surprising and entrancing as are the views, additional interest is lent by the portrayal of the search for the two victims of Alpine climbing. The event has been handled with judgment, and the result is a series of pictures crammed with exciting and thrilling incidents..."
